Problem with /dev/modem (bad address)

I recently updated a bunch of packages on my system, one being kernel26-2.6.10. After doing so, when I try to connect to the Internet using wvdial, I get the following messages:
Cannot open /dev/modem: Bad address
Cannot open /dev/modem: Bad address
Cannot open /dev/modem: Bad address
I have an Intel 536ep modem, and have the latest driver package installed. I think this might be kernel related, but I'm not sure. This happens whether or not I run udev, and I tried disabling hotplug also.
Does anyone have ideas about what might be causing this?
Thanks!

Why don't you reconfigure wvdial device in /etc/wvdial.conf?
http://open.nit.ca/wiki/index.php?page=WvDialReadMe
Perhaps you've overwritten your previous config during last upgrade? (ls /etc/*.pac*)
It's also easy to create /dev/modem rule for udev but it's safer to just use /dev/ttySx in /etc/wvdial.conf (in case you have several modems - theoretically :-) - you should rather create /dev/modems/modem1 etc. or something like this).

3000 J - Problem with Internal Modem

Hello,
I still live in the 90's and use dial-up service to access the internet. My computer isn't recognizing (or there is a problem with) my modem. I receive "Error 797" when trying to dial-up as I usually do.
The modem is HSF2014 56K Data Fax Modem. Is there a way to obtain the driver software from Lenovo on CD-ROM, so I can try reinstalling?
Thanks in advance!
Ryan

Hi again,
It's difficult for me to offer anymore than generalized advice but I'll try to be helpful.
I'd start by removing the existing modem and restarting the computer. One of the error messages mentioned PCI Slot 1. This is probably the modem. If ALL the error messages go away it's a pretty good indication that the modem is the problem and replacement is in order. I would attempt simply re-seating the modem in it's slot first however and restarting.
I'm pretty sure that the proper drivers would be found automatically for the existing modem. If not, there's a rather generalized Readme file and a program called HXFSetup.exe which is probably the program you would need to run if required.
While you're in the computer, disconnecting and reconnecting things might be better than just a visual inspection. Twisting the cooling fan housing on the CPU with moderate force shouldn't hurt anything and who knows?
If it turns out that the modem is the problem (which I doubt), installing the other modem shouldn't be a problem, assuming it fits and you have the drivers for it. Again, good luck.
Jim
P.S. If you haven't already done so, Google all the error messages and see if there seems to be any common element. There are diagnostic programs available on the web but I've never found one that helped me with a trouble, perhaps someone has and can make a recommendation.

Problems with Reverting to an Address Book Backup

I keep my address book updated on my iMac at home that is running OS v10.6 Snow Leopard. At work, I am now using a G5 that is running OS v10.4 Tiger. I have created a +Backup of my Address Book+ at home and brought the .abbu file with me to work so that I could +Revert to an Address Book Backup+ on my G5.
I've done it twice already and I'm still missing vCards (mostly recently added). Also, some of the other vCards have old information. Is there something I'm not doing right? If the solution is to highlight all vCards and +Export vCard...+ then what is the point of +Back up Address Book...+

Dear Pat,
Thank you. I have received the exact same reply from Amreso.
I thank you both for your replies. If the problem occurs again, I shall follow your advice.
I just need to pluck up the courage. I get so nervous with the computer when it plays up.

Anthony

Help...problem with my Modem - Dial Up connection

Hi...I having the following problem with my Powerbook G4 1Ghz Titatium. Hope you can give a hand.
I am trying to conect to the internet with dail-up but the System Profiler utility says that "Modem Driver Not Found". I went into Network Preferences, and into Network Port configurations and the option of "Internal Modem" simply does not appear. What can I do?. I have been trying to find any installer for the modem but no lucky so far (I have the OS 10.3.9). I can imagine that the drivers were deleted.
Any help will be highly appreciated. Greetings from Mexico.

Problem with USB modem

I have just bought a macbook with mac os X tiger. I have a problem with network configuration when I'd like to setup my broadband. I'm now using Tiscali broadband which supplied me a USB modem (Sagem Fast 800). I've already installed the software and driver. The problem appeared when I tried to configured the network setting. I couldn't find "external modem" or "ethernet adaptor" as the manual suggests. As a result, I couldn't make any interent connection. It'd be so grateful if anyone who's using tiscali broadband can kindly give me the solution for this.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I've looked in the network port configurations and found "Airport", "Bluetooth", "Biult-in Ethernet" and "Built-in Firewire". All of these are checked but I can't see the "external modem" port. I also rebooted the conputer after installing the software and driver. There is a software "ADSL Monitor" shown up in my desktop but can't see the device in the network configurations.

Problem with Entourage to ICal & Address Book sync

For some reason the information is not now being sync'd across to iCal & Address book. I have checked that I have set the preferences correctly both in Entourage & Mac sync preferences but still it doesn't transfer the info.
Can anyone help?

Since the issue with is with Entourage, and it's not an Apple product you should consider posting your question on Microsoft's own forums as they would be geared more toward your issue than an Apple forum:

Faxing problems with internal modem in iBook

I have been trying to use Apples built in faxing capabilities. I use a cable connection over wireless airport to connect to the internet. Through reading in these forums I found out that you need to be hooked up through a phone line to fax—makes sense.
I am trying to do that now but encountering problems. Here's what's happening—can anyone help me out?
-faxing from Microsoft Word using "fax pdf".
-My I book G4 is connected to a phone line and connected to my wireless network via airport.
-computer appears to send fax successfully from the application but doesn't actually fax.
-i check it in the fax list, double click my internal modem window and it opens the job window for the modem. My job is still there, holding. When I click "resume" I hear a dial tone and it appears to try to be faxing. But suddenly a busy signal gets in the way and it puts the fax on hold. This keeps happening over and over again.
-I realize that maybe the line I'm faxing to is busy, but I'm also wondering if it has anything to do with my modem not being set up correctly. when I go into system preferences>network>network status there is a red icon next to internal modem and it says "Internal Modem is not set up".
My question is--how to I get my internal modem to be "set up"? In the old days I used to have my dial up info in there in TCP/IP but I don't have that service anymore. I was under the impression that you could fax just using the laptop's internal modem hooked up to a phone line and you didn't need any provider service..is this true or not?
In the "printing and faxing" system preferences window I have my phone number in there.
Can anyone help me figure this out? I'm not sure if I need any information in the internal modem set up panel and what that would be. Can't I just fax by simply having a phone line and a phone #?
Thanks!

ebonyhack, Welcome to the discussion area!
Have you tried disabling the option to wait for dial tone?
You may have to add some commas (',') to the front of your ISP's phone number to delay the dialing. A comma causes a delay of 1 second.

Delivery problems with Apple Store mailing address

Hello all,
I just sent the following letter to Apple; I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same problem (missing mailing address lines) ?
Dear Apple,
I'd like to point out a potential problem in Apple Store mailing addresses.
During the past two years, I have now witnessed three (3) separate occasions, where the shipping address I give in my Apple Store order does not correctly end up in the actual mailing label.
The most recent case was today, when I (by sheer luck) received my Logic Pro 7.2 upgrade. The address I originally gave in my order was like this:
John Doe
My Home Street 123
MyCompany Ltd.
Helsinki, 00440
Finland
The first line is my name, the second line the street address, the third line my company, and the last line city and zip code.
However, the address that was in the envelope goes like this:
John Doe
MyCompany Ltd.
Helsinki, 00440
Finland
So the problem is, that the street address never made it to the mailing label. The envelope came addressed to me and my company; no street address at all. Fortunately the local post office knew where to find us.
I've seen this happen at least two times before, and it's always either the company name or the street address that's missing. They are not only missing from the mailing label in the envelope, they are also missing from the actual Apple Delivery Note that's inside the package. So it seems, that somewhere in your mailing process (at least for Finland) one of the address lines simply gets deleted.
I haven't (yet) lost anything valuable, but I'm getting really uncertain if I have the courage to order anything more valuable from your web store.
I hope you can fix this A.S.A.P. (or at least remove the extra address line from the order form, so that users won't put any crucial information into it).

Can't connect to internet..self assigned ip address problem with DSL Modem

I've run into this before, without resolution, and now again on a friend's iMac. Time to ask around...
Basically, everything appears to be assigned and configured perfectly, but the network status always shows, "...you have a self assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet". Sure can't connect to the net when it says that.
I've gone thru the procedure advise before that details the sequence of events needed to insure the modem resets and recognizes the Mac and it's incoming DSL (sbcglobal) signal. The order of network priority is set properly by dragging built in ethernet to the top of the list. Modem was powered down, plugged in, and then connected to the Mac, but no solution. Any ideas? thanks

This continues to be a mystery. I've had my powerbook on several networks, and connection has, most of the time, been an automatic process. Additionally, I've installed new systems for people with the same isp, and all has been well. So easy is the process, it's never been an issue. However, following explicit procedural instructions (including powering the Mac down), has proven unsuccessful on 2 different occasions.
There is little help with the isp support in India, which is where the call routes too.
The only thing I have not done is to swap out the cable at one of the locations, but the other location, which has the same issue, works fine on the iMac there. Only when I connect my Powerbook to the modem, does the "...self assigned ip address...not be able to connect to the internet" appear.
I just keep thinking there has got to be a small detail that is being overlooked.

Problem with airport configuration, ip addresses

i have an old snow base station that i am attempting to use to allow a pair of laptops to connect to the internet in my apartment.
i have manually entered the isp information into the administrator (ip, subnet, router address). however, only one of the laptops, the new macbook, is able to actually browse the internet with a 80.xxx.xxx.xx ip address. my powerbook is given a 10.0.1.x ip and while the network option in the system settings assures me that it can connect to the internet, i cannot. if i attempt to change the settings in the administrator's internet tab to allow the base station to distribute ip addresses within a certain range (instead of a single static ip) i am given an error message that says that the ip address i have used for the airport in the network tab is not valid inside the interval for ip addresses i have assigned. i have no idea what this means.
what can i do about this problem? at the very least i would like both computers to access the internet. in a best case, i would like them each to have 10.0.1.x ips. i don't know what to do and i haven't been able to find anything online that addresses this problem. please help me.

Should be simple to resolve. If your isp has assigned you a static ip address then in the Internet tab of the Snow config you should set:
Connect Using: Ethernet
Configure: Manually
IP address: <static ip as given to you by your ISP>
Subnet mask: <mask as defined by your isp>
Router address: <address as defined by your isp>
DNS servers: <address as defined by your isp>
I think from your posting this is what you have set.
Alternatively, if your isp assigned ip addresses dynamically then you should have set:
Configure: Using DHCP
and the Snow will contact the isp dhcp server to get the information required.
It is also _very important_ that you have the modem connected to the WAN port on the Snow rather than the LAN port.
Now the important bit...
In the Network tab you must have it set to
Distribute IP addresses: yes
Share a single ip address (using nat and dhcp)
Your two computers (which I understand are configured to use dhcp to get ip address, etc.) will then use dhcp to contact the dhcp server in the Snow and will be assigned addresses in the range shown in the Beginning/End boxes (which although greyed out are still applicable.) I guess these will be set to something like 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200 or similar? The two machines using the addresses from this range will be "hidden" behind NAT and as far as the outside world is concerned NAT let's them share the single ip address given to the Snow on the Internet tab.
BTW the Snow will have an ip address (on the Network side) of 10.0.1.1 (you should be able to "ping" it - start up a Terminal and enter "ping 10.0.1.1").
Things will not work if on the Network tab you select "Share a range of ip addresses (using only DHCP)" and you will get the kind of behaviour you are experiencing - similar issues if you have the modem connected to the LAN port.
Why so? Well, without NAT the Snow is effectively only a bridge between two network "segments" meaning that both your machines (and the Snow "controller" function, i.e., the thing that has ip address 10.0.1.1) are part of the isp network - bad karma, you do not want to have this happen.
Now, for whatever random reason one of your machines using dhcp is still getting the Snow dhcp server and so gets a 10.0.1.x address but the other machine is contacting another dhcp server on the isp network and so getting an ip address for that network (BTW it isn't necessarily coming from a router - not all routers are dhcp servers.) Because the machine getting the 80.x.x.x ip address is then effectively part of the isp network it will be able to browse, etc. However, the machine that gets the 10.0.1.x address, although being effectively connected to the isp network, will not work because it has an invalid address on that network.
The fact that they both show connected to the same Airport network is irrelevant from that point of view, that refers only to the wireless access, nothing else.
So, to reiterate, you must use NAT.
Actually you don't have to make use of the Snow dhcp server if you don't want to. Configure the set up as defined above but then you could assign static ip addresses to both your machines provides they are outside the dhcp range. For example, if the dhcp range is defined to be 10.0.1.2 - 10.0.1.200 you could assign static ip addresses of 10.0.1.201 and 10.0.1.202 (set the mask to 255.255.255.0 and the router/dns-server to 10.0.1.1). Having static ip addresses makes it easier to setup connections between the two machines and also to use port-forwarding through NAT if yoou wanted to, say, run a web server on one of the machines or perhaps need some VPN setup.
Hope that helps.
Regards...jeremy

Problems with a single btinternet address

I can send several emails to many different btinternet.com email addresses and all but one reach the recipients with no problems. One individual now never receives any emails I send him from my PC.
This problem has only arisen in the last 6/8 weeks or so prior to that had no problem sending to that individual.
I have not altered any settings, he has checked his system and I am not blocked etc.
Any ideas anyone.

Thank you for the update.
I assume the individual is receiving emails to his email account from other senders and not all of his emails are failing to arrive to their @btinternet address. If all emails are failing to arrive then the problem should be easier to solve.
Otherwise this is where things get complicated:
If they know how to get header information from a received email it would be helpful if they could copy the following parts of the header information that have the confidential information removed and send them to you. (note the xxxxxxx in the examples.
Please then post in the thread or send the info to me via a Private Message (PM)

WRT54G V6 strange problem with cable modem

I have a cable modem with Comcast Digital Voice. I have a WRT54G V6 with the latest firmware. After much discussion and troubleshooting on the phone with Linksys rep, I returned and swapped the router. No change to the problem. I've seen similar issues, but not exactly the same one, on this board. Here's the situation:
I have an XP computer connected via Ethernet directly to the router. I have 1 Mac Laptop (OSX) and 1 Thinkpad (XP) laptop that use the home network interimly via wireless. I use WEP, but no special filtering.
I can get everything set up fine, and all will work for some time. Like I've seen some other's say, about 30 - 90 minutes worth of online time, and the router seems to hang - BOTH wirless and wired. During this time, my wireless signal does not drop out. But I sudddenly cannot get to the internet.
What makes it especially odd is that my digital voice (VoIP) does NOT drop out, meaning my internet connection is still up (and the cable modem shows no signs of trouble - and a reset of the cable modem makes no difference by itself.
The only thing that fixes the situation is a hard restart of the router (meaning unplugging it and then plugging it back in).
The Linksys help folks had me do a complet reset of everything and then even had me change some parameters, including a change of channel, manual MTU, etc. Nada.... Then I changed the router to a new one... Same-o same-o.
I suppose the Cable Modem could have a bad ethernet port -but I read SO many things similar to this problem on the board that I doubt it.
And to think I dumped my NetGear!!! (It also had problems - that were associated with unstable wireless).
Any help is appreciated. It's a real pain.

One other thing... When it drops out, I cannot even get to the router admin page via my web browser and wired connection to the router. So perhaps this has something to do with DHCP server dieing?
